Control Center is hit and miss - Like why are there Separate button controls available for Airplane, Mobile Data, Hotspot and Bluetooth BUT NOT Wifi 🤷♂️
Because WiFi doesn’t need to be separate. Unlike WiFi, Bluetooth and cellular are accessible with 2 taps, that’s why they made those 2 separate. But WiFi already needs only 1 tap. Idk why airplane mode is separate tho
I feel like Apple should at least add a limited version of Apple Inteligence to the A16 Bionic Devices (14 P/PM and normal 15s). The 15s aren't even that old.
You won't be buying a new phone then, that's why Timmy says no.😂 Fair point when the bulk of the 🍏I stuff is so basic and exists across so many non high end other brands. Apple gonna 💰 it's users all the same 🤦♂️
Maybe but I don’t think people understand how processor / ram intensive ai can be. People say this but would like their devices to work reliably as well.
@@josuegonzalez3660 yes for some tasks but there's so much that seemingly is within the 🍏I bubble (questionably paywalled) Suggested replies, imagine editing, a better assistant and so forth that are on far lower spec and older phones.

I installed iOS 18 and immediately changed the multi-page control center back to one. It’s much better as one screen. Also I fixed the photos app, because it was an absolute mess. What I do like is that the background dimming is back after being gone for YEARS. So finally we have some kind of a dark mode back.
@@whatsadog2445 It started off as a big fat mess and then I fixed it. So you live in the assumption that once something is a mess, it can never be fixed? It should remain a mess forever until the end of times?
4:10 definitely the older one. I HATED the new one because it’s so much harder to scroll through the emojis to find the ones I want to put in and a lot harder overall than the old one. The old one just can fit more per column and makes it look more simple rather than the oversized emojis in the new keyboard. I hope they change it back because I oppose of this so hard
Awesome Aaron, Great to see they have brought some call recording features to older iPhones. iOS 18 is definitely a very mixed update in my experience, but overall I love the new features and changes!
Trying to re-organize the control center is the most infuriating experience I’ve had on the iPhone in a while. Things just move around where you don’t want them.
I’m starting to get a feeling that we won’t see any new apple intelligence features until 18.2 betas seeing how next month supposedly 18.1 goes public.
This new beta is running really well on my iPhone 15 pro max, The temperature used to get insanely hot on beta 3, immediately after updating the phone, the phone was COLD it was so much cooler, even better than on public releases. It is super stable beside on bug, entering security settings then contacts crashes settings still.
For everyone complaining about photos and the connectivity page, that’s the beauty of iOS 18. You can CHANGE IT. You’re not stuck with the new connectivity page, you can lay it out with the old layout. You’re not stuck with the default photos app you have now, you can adjust the layout from within the app itself and how you see the app to what you like. Get out of your comfort zone and play with your phone a little to see what it does before complaining about it.
You can’t change the connectivity icons back to the old order, which is what most people are complaining about. Why is airdrop more important than mobile data or Bluetooth?
You can’t change how photos no longer has multiple options at the bottom of the screen. You have to scroll through a list of things to get to what you want.
there is no one party issues when you record in public place or record public employees. it only applies in private settings. such as in someone's private property
Found a new change in iOS 18.1 Beta 4. When your iPhone runs out of battery, on the screen with "iPhone is still findable" and the red battery symbol, there is now a clock in the upper lefthand corner.
what im fascinated by is that u managed to waste over 100% of ur battery in 3 hours, i couldnt do that even if i wanted to, the least i got is like 4-5 hours and that was by playing a heavy game on max brightness
Depending on yr iPhone you can add Siri as an option, I set mine up & tap the back of “iPhone”, via settings. So much easier to bring Siri up with out saying anything. Cheers
Great video Aaron! I don't know whether this is a bug or on purpose, but both the clock app and the settings app can't be locked or hidden. The settings app is very personal. I'm surprised Apple won't allow users to hide and/or block these two apps.
18.1 beta 3 was so buggy for me, the most of any of the 18 betas. It also got really warm like half the time randomly. I hope it’s better now on beta 4.
Thanks for the video. I have a question ~ what will happen if I upgrade to ios 18 and watchos 11 and then downgrade just my phone to ios 17? Will everything work OK?
Do you only get the new Siri animation if Apple Intelligence is turned on? I'm in the EU so i can currently not test it because i'm waiting for my Apple Music subscription to expire so i can change my Store region to the US in the hopes to gain access to Apple Intelligence and as always thanks for the informative video.
1:23 I am honestly not. I was hoping we'd get individual toggles for the rest of the connectivity pieces besides Airplane Mode, Bluetooth, Cellular, and Hotspot. Instead they've done the opposite. Made the connectivity cluster look WORSE and like a mess. At least when it was all rows, it was consistent and acted as a visually pleasing page.
PLEASE READ - This morning after updating my iPhone 14 pro to iOS 18.1 Beta, I noticed the bezels got noticeably larger. Same when upgrading my Apple Watch Ultra (1st gen) this morning. I thought it was just me but I compared it to my work iPhone 15 pro on iOS 17 and there is a significant difference. Can someone else confirm or deny this?
Hello after 3 days of installing this beta under battery this message still appears: Update Finishing in background. Does anyone have the same issue here?
@@Messi-o9n7d yeah I’m using my phone now with it showing the battery health percentage from a third party battery it used to only show a line there u can even google it
Noticed this bug last night after downloading iOS 18.1 beta 4. Whenever you start a spotlight search with the letter S it glitches out and clears the screen, it works if you type quickly past the letter S.
Hi, thank you for your regular reviews and updates 😇 I have two issues that showed up after updating to the first iOS 18 PB. 1. If I’m connected to a bluetooth speaker that only works on calls and another car system that has CarPlay, whenever I receive a call and finishes it the music never playback anymore as is used to do prior to iOS18. I believe Apple messed with something related to bluetooth profiles. 2. If I have any emoji included in the name of my contacts, whenever this person calls I see a glitch in the screen and the emoji shows another one right below it as if I have two overlapping emojis. If you experience anything like this plz let me know, I reported the issues but Apple didn’t respond.
With this update, I can now take 24MP spatial photos on my 15 Pro Max. They combined spatial video and photo into a simple “spatial” setting in the camera app.
An issue that I’m having with the control center is when I’m in landscape and I’ll bring down the control center. Some of the icons are gone, even though it’s exact same ratio of icons, but I think iOS doesn’t know where to put the icons so it just removes them, but it has enough space for them. Specifically the volume and brightness because those are vertical and take up 2x1
Brightness just randomly drops very strange. Im on max brightness and then for no reason it goes darker few times and stay like that and even on slider cant get max until its just turn max again randomly....... autobrightness is turned off
I am still missing the multi language keyboard. In the beginning there was the keyboard that’s showed “us/de” if I have English and German keyboard. Do I’ll missed when they switched it off or is there a setting for it?
Don’t know if you read all the comments but could you kindly tell me if the size of the iPhone 16 pro max is the same size as the 15 pro max? Reason for asking is I’ve got a glass screen protector spare from my 15 pro max and wondered if it will fit the 16 pro max ok? Thanks for all your good work
No it’s not a bug, it because you have the app lock as you mentioned, for example, if you used to have a widget of photos and the lock the photos app it will remove it because of it, because people can see some photos through the widget and you lock the app because you don’t want anyone to see your photos, I hope this helps.
Got public beta 18.1 yesterday . Probably the most annoying thing is that the picture of actions in shortcuts icons in the control center are missing . I don't see bluetooth/wi-fi picture in the shortcuts icon . The actions still work but they don't show icons in it . Worked very good in 18.0 RC . Hope they fix it in the next public beta :(
I have iPhone 15 Pro and with this update I feel my screen is not that bright anymore, when using it at sunlight is harder to see than with previous beta.
Can connectivity toggle be re-arranged? I see up and down arrows when tap to widget…It’s dumb to prioritize airplane mode and airdrop on a first place 😮
Aron i am from India as per 18 public i saw RCS will be there but when I saw under message i dont see that option do you have any idea when it come to India or it actually comes not ???
Control Center is hit and miss - Like why are there Separate button controls available for Airplane, Mobile Data, Hotspot and Bluetooth BUT NOT Wifi 🤷♂️
exactly, I'd love to use separate buttons
Because WiFi doesn’t need to be separate. Unlike WiFi, Bluetooth and cellular are accessible with 2 taps, that’s why they made those 2 separate. But WiFi already needs only 1 tap. Idk why airplane mode is separate tho
I really like the before setup for the mobile data airdrop and so but this one is not good and not much useful
It doesn’t feel like Apple.. feels like ‘we need to do something to call it an update’
Bluetooth use to be one tap 🤳
I feel like Apple should at least add a limited version of Apple Inteligence to the A16 Bionic Devices (14 P/PM and normal 15s). The 15s aren't even that old.
I agree with you. Even though I’m getting the 16 Pro Max, I use to own a 14 Pro Max. That phone is not that old and still very capable!

how did you fix photos app?
how did you fix photos i hate it
@@jonam2319 I scrolled all the way down. There is an edit button where you can disable all the mess
If you “fixed” it then it was not “an absolute mess.” Customizability is at the core of the update and you just don’t get it.
@@whatsadog2445 It started off as a big fat mess and then I fixed it. So you live in the assumption that once something is a mess, it can never be fixed? It should remain a mess forever until the end of times?

SAME!!!!!!
i think they should give the option bc i really like it but ik a lot of people don’t
I’ve been using the beta for a few months now, the customization makes your device so much more functional.

WoW!!! It's about time they let you change the notification sounds on the Apple Watch!
i too am experiencing the extra page w the hearing icon in control center :/
I’ve tried deleting it multiple times lol
Me too on iPhone 15 pro max. Until now I don’t like this update
I’m starting to get a feeling that we won’t see any new apple intelligence features until 18.2 betas seeing how next month supposedly 18.1 goes public.
Available to public in beta not official released pretty much
The iOS 18.1 public data is out. Should I update my iPhone 14 Pro which is currently on iOS 18?

Well if you have Reddit and TikTok and Facebook Etc. apps loaded onto your phone, yeah, that thing's gonna drain Like a mofo.
I know iOS18 is now the main focus but will you make any videos for future iOS17 updates like 17.7?
Suggestions on tap to Siri is actually a great idea. Typing a whole sentence felt like a nuisance sometimes.
Depending on yr iPhone you can add Siri as an option, I set mine up & tap the back of “iPhone”, via settings. So much easier to bring Siri up with out saying anything. Cheers
can you make a suggestion for older iphone wallpapers to come back ?
this is the 1st 18.1 I've been able to install on my NON Pro 15.... whats the difference??
So are they ever going to release 18.1 for public beta ?
is it good for 14 pro max
Great video Aaron! I don't know whether this is a bug or on purpose, but both the clock app and the settings app can't be locked or hidden. The settings app is very personal. I'm surprised Apple won't allow users to hide and/or block these two apps.
Does this mean we will be getting ios 18.1 will be coming on all older phones?
Does call recording feature available on iPhone XR as well. or is limited on iPhone 11
Do iOS 18.1 fix the no blur on the Widget Page App Library?
Siri can support in older devices? Please let me know

What app do you use for that widget that shows RAM usage and stuff?
Device Monitor
Geekbench 6

did you say stay on 18 or install 18.1 public?
Are the too large font sizes fixed in the widgets?
